E. TEEKEN DEMOUNTABLE woRKBENcH Filed March 2l, 1921 of which the follo-vvingfis.ajspecificfatiom Be it'known that I, EDWARD fTnEKn'Nyaf Patented June 12, v19u-23.` t

citizenl of the United y'Sta-tes; residingl at Louisville, county of Jeffersonand Sta-te lofl Kentucky, have invented certain L'new fand useful 'Improved Demountable Workbenches,

vThis invention-relates to AWork benches andl morejparticularly 'to a-demountable Workbench.' 1 'The 'primary object'ofthe inventionf is to:

' provide afivork--bench which' is 'of ineXpen-1v amount of "space, and thus be -carried pipefand ythe like. y'

bench.' rrig 1.

A further 1 obj ect -f of; 1 thef yinvention -is to prov-idethe work benchsvvith a. demountable f shelf hanger: for conveniently ysupporting tool shelf preferably- .at the frontgend '.fof

A still further'objectfof the,invention is` to provide the Work bench with means ffor conveniently and veffectively holding the `Work in position upon the bench.

With these and other-objects in View, as

will appear as the description proceeds, the

prises fittings 1 and 2, each of which is proinvention comprises the various other novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will more fully ap'- pear hereinafter and be pointed out'vvith particularity in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing: l p Figure 1 represents a top plan viewfoff the Work bench, i Figure 2 represents a side elevation of the Work bench, showing a piece of work in po-` sition as indicated by Vdotted lines,

Figure v3 represents a front end view of the Wto-rk bench, e l

Figure represents a rear end' view of the work bench, and

Figure 5 is ak detail the-shelf hanger. i Referring more particularly to the draW- ing, it will be seenthat the Work bench com-- perspective view of vided with transverse passages for the reception of a horizontal bar or pipe 3. .The n forward end of the bar 3 is threaded into the y L j DMOUNABLE WOBKBENC'E- ,1921; "Serial m1455152,

The hanger, per se consists of a vertical rod 13 having avhoolr 14 formed at its upper end for engagement over the barl l3,' while the 1 lower end. joins'r a longitudinally disposed' i' "rod 15. This latter r-od being'joined'rnedi-fgf;y 'l

'e l From the, foregoing description, itl will be apparent that I have Vprovided arvork bench of simple and inexpensive construction,

conveniently arranged in af-comp-act space for carriage 1n a Workmans tool kit.
